Many security conscious householders are choosing to install a doorbell camera in addition to their other security cameras as it is a simple way to add another level of security to a property. Doorbell cameras are also easy to install and relatively cheap.

The benefits of a doorbell camera can be seen particularly for the older generation who may live alone and want to be able to see who is at the door before they open it and even speak to them through the intercom system that is usually part of the whole doorbell system. Cameras can either record continually or record when movement is detected, and the footage can be viewed on a mobile phone or computer. This system gives the householder peace of mind and the added security that they need in an inexpensive way.

Another advantage of a doorbell camera is that the live footage can be viewed even if the occupants are out of the country which is reassuring for those on holiday or working away. Some newer models even allow you to speak to the person at the door which is a useful function for those who are disabled and perhaps cannot get to the door quickly.
